GENERAL APPLICATION INFORMATION

LASORB is a patented product that is specifically designed and tested to protect laser diodes from ESD and power surges. Starting in the year 2008, LASORB has been sold as an encapsulated hybrid 2-pin through-hole component. The encapsulated component contains the LASORB semiconductor device along with three passive components. This method of packaging proved to be convenient for many applications, since it allows customers to easily retro-fit ESD protection by simply connecting the encapsulated LASORB in parallel with the existing laser diode. However, the encapsulated LASORB part is relatively large, making it difficult or impossible to fit within very compact customer products. In 2014 we began selling the LASORB semiconductor device separately. The SMT package provides a much more convenient way for customers to implement ESD protection within their products. This datasheet discusses the LASORB TSOP6/4G-20V semiconductor device and provides basic implementation information. However, this datasheet does not cover all LASORB-related topics that are treated more thoroughly in the LASORB datasheets that cover the encapsulated LASORB parts. Therefore it is recommended that customers also review the relevant LASORB datasheet part formulation that corresponds with the laser diode they want to protect. For example, for in-depth LASORB information about protecting green laser diodes, refer to the LASORB datasheet for part number L44-47-121-916-X.

IMPLEMENTING LASORB USING THE TSOP6/4G-20V LASORB SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE To implement LASORB functionality within a customer’s product or application, the LASORB semiconductor device must be used along with two or three external passive components. The basic circuit configuration is shown below:

In the circuit diagram, the terminals labeled “From driver circuitry” and the component labeled “Laser Diode” are found in every laser diode application. The LASORB semiconductor device is shown with the LDA, LDK and TRIGGER pins. The components labeled R1, R2 and C2 are the external passive components needed to bias and trigger the LASORB semiconductor device. (The designations R1, R2 and C2 can be found in the “SMALL SIGNAL SPICE MODELS” section of standard encapsulated LASORB part datasheets. C1 is not a separate component, but rather is the internal LASORB TSOP6 trigger capacitance.)

PASSIVE COMPONENTS TO BE USED WITH THE LASORB SEMICONDUCTOR

The passive components that are external to the TSOP6 device provide several degrees of freedom. By customizing the values of the passive components, the LASORB response can be optimized for particular laser diodes and applications. The degrees of freedom allow the user to adjust the maximum and typical operating voltage of the laser diode, as well as modulation rate, surge-conduction time, device capacitance and inactive leakage current. The following table shows the component values used within the LASORB part formulations. This should be used as a starting point for customer implementation.

GENERAL COMMENTS ABOUT THE QUALITY OF PASSIVE COMPONENTS

ESD is characterized by an initial spike having a rise time as fast as 1 nanosecond, followed by a much longer pulse lasting 20 to 50 nanoseconds. As such, all components in the circuit will experience RF and sub-microwave frequency levels. For best ESD protection, the passive components must therefore be RF-quality components having low equivalent series inductance (ESL), typically 0603 or 0402 in size. COMMENTS ABOUT THE ROLE OF R2

The use of R2 establishes a bias on the trigger pin of the LASORB Semiconductor Device, thus enhancing the state of readiness (decreasing reaction time) of LASORB while the laser is lasing. Note that if the laser diode is not lasing, then the absence or presence of R2 makes no difference. The “cost” of R2 is increased overall circuit current flow, since R1 and R2 are effectively connected in series, which are then connected directly across the laser diode terminals – effectively acting as “leakage current”. This “leakage current” can be reduced by a factor of 10 by increasing resistor values proportionally by a factor of 10. This is seen in the “122” versions of LASORB part formulations. R2 can also be completely eliminated, which will reduce the “leakage current” to around 5 nanoamps. The component values shown in the table above have been used in LASORB part formulations for years. They are time-proven values, generally good for protecting the kind of laser diode noted in the “comments” section. Nevertheless, customers may have specific applications with specific needs that may benefit from altered component values. For example, when customers expect to operate the circuit in environments of elevated temperatures, it is necessary to increase the value of R2, to prevent biasing the LASORB semiconductor into a non-linear region where it will begin to draw current itself. Feel free to contact Pangolin to discuss your application and to ensure that the best components are chosen.

EXAMPLE COMPONENT PLACEMENT

Below you will see how the components are arranged within the through-hole version of LASORB. Large copper pours are used rather than thin traces, because ESD extends into the GHz frequency range.
